What happens if I get married to my Army bf?

My bf has already gone to basic and is finishing his ait right now. He will be able to come home next week for a month after his graduation. After that, he's being stationed in Germany. He asked me to marry him.. Is it okay for us to get married while he's on this break? Will I be able to go with him? He has two kids with another girl he never married or anything? What will happen?What happens if I get married to my Army bf?
You can get married but you will not be able to go with him right away. You should get several copies of the marriage certificate so that you can each have one. You will need it to change all your IDs and information. He needs it to enter you into DEERS. If there is a base located near you he can do it there and you can go with him to get a Military ID. If he has to wait until he gets to Germany then you will have to wait as well to get one. He will need to send you a Form DD1172 to get an ID at the closest base. Once you are entered into DEERS you are automatically enrolled in Tricare Standard. With Standard there is a yearly deductible and a co-pay for each visit. Once you have your ID you can change to Tricare Prime in which there is no payments necessary. You can also enroll yourself in United Concordia Dental plan. This is about $12 a month for just the spouse or $29 a month for the family. if he has the 2 children listed on his Page 2 then he would be already paying the Family Plan and you just need to be added to it.





He needs to report and put in a request to get the orders changed to accompanied. You will then have to go through a medical and dental overseas screening before they will change the orders. You then need to apply for a Government No-Fee Passport to have with you when you arrive. You should also get a regular Tourist Passport so you can travel with overseas.





Unless he has custody of the other 2 children then it will not change anything at all. He will need to speak to the children's mother about visitation, etc...What happens if I get married to my Army bf?
Ok Wow....yes you can get married while he is on leave. You will be able to go with him but not right away. He will have to report to his duty station and put you in DEERS to make you a dependent. He will need your marriage certificate to do that. Then he will have to get his orders amended to allow for a command sponsorship so you can join him. All of this can take a little while so be patient and good luck!!!!!





Oh yeah as for his children that is up to his ex and him to decide but they will have coverage under tri care and regular post privileges.
Yes, you can get married while he is on break. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to go to Germany with him right away. You have to get something called command sponsorship for an overseas assignment. There is a lot of paperwork involved and you will need to get started as soon as you can b/c it can take many months for the sponsorship to get approved and to get you onto his orders.
Yeah, you can get married while he's on break. I did it!


Once you're married, he files the paperwork and of course you have to stay home with whomever, you're living with at the moment until he gets on base housing, then you can go with him to wherever he's stationed..


It'll be fun! I loved the military life.. I hear great things about Germany, It's beautiful over there... It's nothing but greenery and trees and mountains, very peaceful..


Have a small wedding, if you're short on time.. It'll be worth it... Don't worry about his ex, He still has to pay child support though, so don't fight about that because they are his kids.. I suggest holding off yourself and not having kids so fast, enjoy your marriage, Go out with you future hubby, have fun, Enjoy marriage life!


Explore new things, Good luck to you!
First of all I would like to say Congratulations! Being an Army Wife is like being in a really big Sorority and your like will be enriched with all the wonderful experiences and places you will see.





Yes, it is perfectly fine to get married while he is on Leave. My husband and I were married during a 2 week leave he was granted for Christmas 3 years ago. But the chances that you will be able to go to Germany with him right away are very slim.





It took 6 months for us to receive Command Sponsorship even though the Army acknowledged we were married and we already received our extra pay. But Command Sponsorship is what you need in order for them to pay for your move. My husband and I couldn't take the wait anymore so after 2 months, I sold all my furniture and bought a plane ticket myself so we could start our lives together. That would be a great thing to ask for as a wedding gift, money towards a plane ticket instead of kitchenware and stuff like that.





As for his children, that all depends on if he has custody and his arrangement with their mother.





Best of luck to you guys!
you sound stressed. relax. yes it is ok to get married while on break (just try not to take forever planning anything or make the honeymoon too long) and yes you can go with him, you dont have to but i hear germany's a nice place. does he see the kids? if he has any relation to the kids then you will probably get to know them a bit and maybe he will ask the mom to take them with him or whatever. and if you do get married, you will be moving probably quite a bit depending on his status and whatnot.

You will be allowed to go with him with no problem whatsoever.
probably you'll cheat him with many many others as he's away and having sex is awesome, then he'll find that and kill you and all of the guys u slept with. charming,eh?
